We packed the last few things and our host had kindly booked a boat trip (with picknic) at Vioolsdrift wine estate for us. We took our time to get there, got a free wine tasting, included in the price. Both of us were still recovering from the hike the day before, so this trip was just what we needed. The trip is approximately two hours on the river - surrounded by beauty and quiet. We bought some bread and wine to take on the trip, but after half a bottle we both were a little tired, so we took our blanket, and tried to take a nap under the tree. we started chatting instead.

After taking a dip in the pool, ordering cocktails and an amazing dinner with tipsy tart as dessert, we just fell into bed. Such is holiday and life :0 The sunset was beautiful. The next morning, we decided to book into Kgalagdi, since we had a feeling that they were going to be full. We found a place at Nosso...
